In the spring of 1983, the Middle East once again became the focus of attention of countries around the world.

For no other reason, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was hijacked by the separatist forces in northern Iraq, Kurdish guerrillas!

This is a very serious incident, and many observers have begun to analyze that with the hijacking of President Saddam Hussein, then the Iraqi political axe will fall into chaos. Iraq has not yet had a president as outstanding as Saddam Hussein who could suppress the entire country.

Although it is said that in the past two years, Saddam's youngest son Qusay has been born out of thin air and created one miracle after another, but, after all, it is all military, Qusay is too young, and he has no qualifications and prestige to suppress various forces in the country, and Saddam's eldest son Uday seems to have suddenly become the ruler of Iraq and is comfortable in Baghdad. The regime in Iraq, it seems, is at its most dangerous, ready to descend into civil war and division at any moment.

And now that it is still in the period of the Iran-Iraq war, Iran will definitely not give up this opportunity, Iran's counteroffensive is probably about to begin, without the command of the central power, can the Iraqi army still maintain its current advantage?

The United States and the Soviet Union are even more impressed, and this is the most appropriate time, because meddling in Iraq's affairs is a very important interest of the two countries.

However, before the observers' spitting was done, something that surprised them happened again, and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein suddenly appeared in Baghdad and made a harshly worded speech.

Iraq is a country with a great history, and Iraq's territorial integrity is absolutely not allowed to be trampled on, and separatist forces are never allowed to appear, especially because this separatist force is still propagating the argument that it endangers the country, and actually says that it has been arrested by them!

This force must disappear from the soil of Iraq, otherwise, this is a contempt for the Iraqi political axe, a blatant violation of Iraqi law, and these forces are not allowed to exist!

The appearance of Saddam Hussein immediately reassured the panicked Iraqi people that the president was still there! Not at all captured by the separatist forces, the Kurds, everything is their trick!

Newspapers in various countries have also begun to report on how the Kurds in Iraq are trying in every possible way to create a split and destroy the Iraqi regime, and even go so far as to find a fake president to stage the fact that President Saddam Hussein was arrested by them.

Who was Saddam? That is the backbone of the Middle East, how can it be seized by the armed forces of the Kurds? It's just ridiculous.

The Kurds did not react, although they knew that the president had been captured by them, but now, it was no longer a glory, but a destruction that made them tremble!

After the speech, Mekhail met His Excellency Qusay again, and he had just returned to Baghdad to make that televised speech, and he did not know what had happened.

"Mekhail, you suffered this time, and the Kurds didn't embarrass you, right?" Qusay asked.

"Fortunately, thank you to the president for personally sending someone to rescue me, I want to express my gratitude in person." Mehail said. Being able to escape this time must be the president's special care for himself, he is very moved, although he was originally doing things for the president, but he is still grateful that the special forces were able to rescue him in such a short time.

"The president has very important things to do, and during this time, I hope you can temporarily replace the president in various activities." "Including sitting in the president's office," Qusay said. ”

Mekhail was puzzled, although he was a stand-in for the president, but he only occasionally went out for the president to meet with various people and inspect the work of the people below, never in the office, and needed to replace the president for a long time.

"If you encounter anything that needs to be dealt with, ask me for instructions." Qusay continued: "Mehail, this is a very honorable mission, is there any problem? ”

"Nope." Mekhail had a bad feeling in his heart, and he had a vague feeling that something might have happened to President Saddam.

However, he knew that he was just a chess piece, and in the big chessboard of the Middle East, he himself could only be a pawn that was moved by others, and he had no life of his own since he became a presidential stand-in.

With President Mekhail in Baghdad, he can deter many people who have moved, and will play a good role as a buffer for Qusay's gradual assumption of power. The next point is to completely eliminate the armament of the Kurds!

In fact, this crisis is also an opportunity for Qusay to seize the military and command the armed struggle to exterminate the Kurds.

Although it is not convenient at this time, the gradual insertion of officers of the Southern Military District into these units is certainly the goal of the next stage of Qusay.

Now, for example, in the midst of the forces encircling the Kurds in the north, Qusay has transferred back Ali's troops from the 35th Panzer Division to defend several large cities in the northern provinces.

In the air force of the Northern Military Region, a small number of air force personnel of the Southern Military Region also entered to assist the Mirage F1 fighters of the Northern Military Region in mastering the method of using the Paveway laser-guided bomb.

Through the efforts of Joseph's leading group, a series of problems were finally overcome, so that the F-20 could be equipped with air-launched Red Bird II cruise missiles, and the Mirage F1 could be equipped with laser-guided bombs imported from the United States.

In the midst of intense preparations for the encirclement and suppression of the Kurds, a large number of intelligence officers entered the mountainous areas of the Kurds to search for places where the Kurdish armed forces might appear.

Although there has never been a state of their own in history, the Kurds have been working hard, and the leader of the Kurdish Bread Party, Barzani, knowing that it is now the most dangerous moment, has joined forces with the Kurdistan Patriotic Union, which split from the Bukhe Party, in preparation for the final moment.

In the north of Iraq, these two factions are the largest armed groups, and the last time Saddam Hussein encircled and suppressed, they moved out in order to preserve their strength, but now, they will definitely not remain silent anymore!

Fight! With our blood, we will sacrifice our country for the establishment of our country!

In this environment in Iraq, the engineers of the Chinese Chengfei took their newly developed aircraft to Basra, apparently unnoticed.

The two prototypes of the Super Seven departed from Chengfei's airport and came to Basra via Pakistan.

At the same time, in addition to Chengfei's experts, including the chief designer Tu Jida, there were several more Pakistanis.

After arriving, they immediately negotiated with Kashin, who was in charge of the F-20, hoping to enter the avionics modification work of the J-7.

"Chief Engineer Kashin." "Our airframe has completed the test flight as originally planned, and now we need your help to put the avionics system on the aircraft," Tu Jida said. ”

Looking out the window at the two lonely warplanes on the tarmac, Kashin was surprised, as an aircraft designer, he naturally knew all kinds of aircraft.

The Chinese J-7 is an imitation of the MiG-21. This kind of nose-intake fighter, small and flexible, however, could not place a large radar, and was completely outdated. Therefore, what was discussed at the beginning was to let Chengfei modify the airframe first.

Originally, I thought that with China's technology that can only be imitated, it will take more than ten years to build an enlarged version of the Jian-8 by both sides, and where can I have the ability to modify a fighter with belly intake, it will take a lot of work, especially the change of aerodynamic shape, which will lead to the difference in flight quality, and it will take a long time.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually did it in such a short time? I thought they would ask the company for technical guidance!

Kashin looked at the technical experts from the Chinese side, and now he admires them a little.

"We want to know, your fighter jet, whether it can achieve the function of combat, fighter is used in air combat, you change it like this, the aerodynamic layout is completely destroyed, although it can fly, but if the flight surname can have a regression, our avionics will not play its due ability." Kashin said.

When he said this, it is clear that the engineers who are making things difficult for China are also common, and the project that is now being carried out with the United Kingdom to introduce Spey engines is also full of difficulties.

Hearing what the other party said, the Pakistanis who came with the regiment were not happy, they were officers of the Pakistan Air Force, and they were very satisfied with this fighter, so they waited for the avionics to be installed, the test was completed, and the official equipment was completed.

"Our Pakistan Air Force, has completely matched this fighter, air combat capabilities, and just introduced from your country F-16 on par, we need this fighter very much, coupled with advanced avionics, with medium-range air combat capabilities, it completely surpasses the F-16, if you question this fighter so much, then please after the modification, and F-16 do a simulated air battle!" Said the Pakistani.

Hearing what the other party said, Kashin was moved, and his aerial fighting ability can surpass that of the F-16, so how is it possible? The mobile surname of the F-16 is obvious to all, that is, even the F-20, to the F-16 is still a cut behind, is this super seven fighter modified by the Chinese, really so godly?

Surpassing the F-16, which has always been the dream of Northrop, and now, on this Chinese fighter? If the Chinese say this, Kashin will definitely not believe it, but the Pakistanis have a lot to say, and they say this, even if it is not comparable to the F-16, it will not be too far behind.

Kashin changed his mind and first helped them to modify avionics, which was one of the last projects negotiated, and it has been fully approved, and while the company is profitable, it is also possible to thoroughly understand the structure of this aircraft and see what is special about this aircraft!

At this time, the international trend is the integration of large side strip wing and wing body, and Northrop has not studied much of this delta wing fighter.

Moreover, when it is publicized in the future, the development of this aircraft will also have a share of Northrop and the Pakistan Air Force, and the company's reputation will definitely increase, and it will also be very beneficial to the sales of the F-20.
